Psalms 71
1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
O OE, e Iehova, ka'u mea e hilinai ai: Aole au e hoohokaia mai.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
E hoola mai ia'u, ma kou pono, E hoopakele hoi oe ia'u: E haliu mai i kou pepeiao ia'u a e hoola ia'u.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
E lilo mai oe i pohaku e noho ai no'u, Kahi e holo mau ai au; Ua kauoha ae nei oe e hoola ia'u; No ka mea, o oe no ko'u pohaku me ko'u pakaua.
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
E ko'u Akua, e hoopakele mai oe ia'u i ka lima o ka poe aia, Mai loko aku o ka poho lima o ka mea hewa aloha ole.
5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.
No ka mea, o oe no ko'u mea e manaolana ai, e ka Haku; E Iehova, ka mea au i hilinai ai, mai ko'u wa opiopio.
6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
Nau no wau i hookupaa, mai ka opu mai; O oe no ka i lawe ia'u mai loko mai o na naau o ko'u makuwahine: Nou mau aku no hoi ko'u hoolea ana.
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
Me he mea kupanaha la au i ka lehulehu; Aka, o oe ko'u wahi paa e malu ai.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
E piha ko'u waha i ka hoolea nou, A me kou nani a po ka la.
9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
Mai kiola ae oe ia'u i ka wa elemakule; Aole hoi e haalele mai ia'u i ka pau ana o ko'u ikaika.
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
No ka mea, ke olelo ku e mai nei ko'u poe enemi ia'u; A ua ohumu pu ka poe hoohalua no kuu uhane,
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
I mai la, Ua haalele mai ke Akua ia ia: E alualu oukou ia ia, a e hopu ia ia; No ka mea, aohe mea hoola.
12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
E ke Akua, mai hoomamao aku ia'u; E ko'u Akua, e wikiwiki mai e kokua ia'u.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
E hoohilahilaia, a e pau e hoi ka poe ku e mai i kuu uhane; E uhiia me ka hoinoia a me ka hoahewaia ka poe imi i hewa no'u.
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
Aka, e lana mau ko'u naau, A e hoomahuahua'e au i ko'u hoolea ana ia oe.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
E hoike aku ko'u waha i kou pono, a me kou ola a po ka la: No ka mea, aole au i ike i ko laila helu'na.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
E hele no wau ma ka ikaika o ka Haku Iehova; E hoolea au i kou pono, o kou wale no.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
E ke Akua, ua ao mai oe ia'u mai ko'u wa opiopio: A ua hai aku au i kau mau hana kupanaha a hiki i keia wa.
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
Ano hoi i ko'u elemakule ana me ka poohina, E ke Akua, mai haalele mai ia'u; A hoike e aku au i kou ikaika i keia hanauna, A i kou mana hoi, i na mea a pau e hiki mai ana.
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
He kiekie loa kou pono, e ke Akua, Ka mea i hana i na mea nui; E ke Akua, owai la ka mea like me oe?
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
E ka mea i hoike iho nei ia'u i ka pilikia ana he nui wale, E hooikaika hou mai no oe ia'u, A e hoopuka ia'u mailoko o na wahi hohonu o ka honua.
21 Increase my honor and comfort me again.
E hoomahuahua ae oe i ko'u nui ana, A e hooluolu mai ia'u ma kela aoao, ma keia aoao.
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
E hula aku au ia oe me ka violaumi, I kou oiaio hoi, e ko'u Akua; E himeni aku hoi au ia oe me ka lira, E ka mea hoano o ka Iseraela.
23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
E hauoli nui ko'u mau lehelehe i ko'u oli ana ia oe; A me ko'u uhane au i hoola mai nei.
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
Eia hoi, e kamailio aku kuu alelo i kou pono a po ka la; No ka mea, ua hoka, ua hoohilahilaia ka poe imi i hewa no'u.
